The Stone’s Candies Story

1973

Jan and Marg Stachowicz purchased Stone's Candy from the Stone family, who had operated the business since the 1940s. Stachowicz, originally from Poland where chocolate making has a rich tradition, worked in America as a chocolatier at Nestlé. Drawing from his passion for candy making and his cultural roots, he developed many new techniques and delectable tastes, which he and Marg would ultimately bring to their new shop, Stone's Candy at 145 West Bridge St., Oswego, NY. Throughout the years, Jan handed his “sweet skills” down to his step son, Don Regan. When Jan passed away in 2002, Marg ran the business while Don took over as confectioner, where he remains to this day.

2019

Stone's Candies gets a major makeover! In spring of 2019, the shop was purchased and reorganized under a new partnership: Bill Galloway, Donald Regan, Diego Lebaudy, and Jeff McCrobie - AKA "The Candy Crew.”

2020 and Beyond - Old fashion. Old favorites.

The crew relocated Stone's Candies to 23 West Seneca St, Oswego, an 1860's-era building with a classic vibe and a prime location. The new shop, centered between downtown Oswego, Lake Ontario, the Oswego River, and the historical Franklin Square District, offers a walk-up window and outdoor patios to enjoy Stone's Candies homemade custard and ice cream all summer long, and other great favorites year round including our sponge candy, peanut brittle, caramel corn, turtles, creams, and many molded chocolates for all occasions.

Where's the Ice Cream? It's at Stone's!

Everyone in Oswego, NY remembers Stone's original ice cream cone sign. After the move, our loyal customers and friends asked, "Where's the famous Ice Cream Cone?" Our very own Jeff "The Chief" McCrobie - a man of many talents, including woodworking and painting - said, "I just had to make our customers happy!" And so he did and the sign made the move complete. For more than 40 years, Stone's Candies has been making treats that make people happy, and now under the care of the Candy Crew, that tradition continues today!
